From the article

Another team, supposedly the Los Angeles Rams, had eyes on him as well. The 49ers didn't just come up with this pick out of nowhere. They knew that there were other teams that had a very high grade on Stribling when the 49ers declined to trade out the top draft slot in the second round and take him there.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Rams and other teams had strong interest; some viewed him as draft's best receiver.

Adam Schefter reported that the Los Angeles Rams were interested in Stribling during the draft process, and some evaluators believed he was the best receiver in the draft; the 49ers' decision to hold the pick at No. 33 rather than trade down reflected awareness of league-wide interest in Stribling at the second-round level.
